Divorce proceedings

Whilst divorce can be a long and difficult period, I found Bea Taylor and Karen Mackenzie of Tozers to be an excellent and reliable resource. They were easy to contact and prompt to reply, informative and helpful with explanatory advice at every stage, with a professional yet friendly and approachable demeanor. I would recommend them without hesitation. I could make a negative point about the costs involved, but Tozers were actually favourably comparable to others I considered.

Outstanding support during a difficult time

Going through family court is quite possibly one of the hardest things anyone can experience. It leaves you emotionally exhausted and feeling completely overwhelmed. However, having Ellie represent me made this incredibly difficult time so much more manageable. She is not only honest, knowledgeable and exceptionally thorough, but also understanding, compassionate and genuinely supportive. Ellie was by my side through every statement and every court hearing. No matter what emotions I was experiencing or how difficult things seemed, she always listened, supported me, and gave honest, realistic advice. Whenever I wavered, she never did. She helped me stay focused on doing what was best for my son, even when the process felt impossible. Ricky has also been phenomenal in every interaction I've had with him. His knowledge and understanding of the family court process are outstanding, and he consistently provides clear, practical advice that always aligns with the welfare and best interests of your child. He is incredibly approachable, completely non-judgemental, and has an exceptional ability to take in complex information and provide honest, thoughtful guidance. One thing that stood out throughout my case was the integrity with which both Ellie and Ricky conducted themselves. At no point did our communications with the other party rely on character assassination, intimidation or unnecessary conflict. Every discussion, every letter and every decision remained centred on my child and how the outcome could best support his welfare, stability and future. I will be forever grateful to Ellie, Ricky and everyone at Tozers for standing beside me during one of the hardest 18 months of my life. Their professionalism, compassion and unwavering support made an immeasurable difference. I cannot recommend them highly enough, particularly Ellie and Ricky. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything.

Outstanding Support When It Mattered Most

I can’t thank Ricky enough for the outstanding support he has provided throughout my children’s case over the past ten months. His calm, measured and insightful approach, combined with a rare level of empathy and a genuine ability to connect with people, made an incredibly difficult process far more manageable. Throughout, he offered reassurance and clarity exactly when it was needed, always managing to retain a sense of humour even in the most challenging moments. During a particularly stressful time last year, I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about my next steps. With Ricky’s guidance and support, I was able to move forward with confidence - something I do not believe I could have done without him. The positive impact of his work on my family has been profound. Seeing my children happy, settled and back to being themselves again is something I'll always be grateful for. I'd highly recommend Ricky to anyone needing thoughtful, professional and compassionate legal support. Thank you, Ricky - you've made a lasting difference to our lives.

Bea and her team were always available to answer questions promptly when I needed them. The advice was always understandable to a lay person like myself! I was notified every step of the way. I am not great at emails but .... If I can do it all through this modern way of communication anyone can as long as the legal team you pick are beside you.

I just want to say how grateful I am for the support and representation I received throughout my case. It wasn’t an easy situation, and there were a lot of difficult aspects to deal with, both complex and sensitive, but everything was handled in such a caring and professional manner What meant the most to me was how much they really took the time to understand both my needs and my children’s needs. I felt consistently heard, supported, and genuinely looked after during a very stressful time. Going into the final hearing, I felt reassured knowing everything had been prepared so thoroughly. Their calm and focused approach helped me feel more confident when I needed it most. I truly appreciate the effort, understanding, and dedication they showed from start to finish. It made a real difference to me and my family, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends, family and anyone going through a similar situation.

Restored My Faith in Lawyers!

Having had to deal with solicitors a lot over the last few years following the decline & death of both my parents, I cannot praise Matt and Tozers Solicitors highly enough. Having used a different solicitor for my mother's estate a few years ago we were left infuriated by their lack of response, tardiness, mistakes and general 'couldn't care less' attitude. Matt at Tozers has been the absolute polar opposite of this and completely restored my faith in solicitors! Matt has been very communicative with every stage of the process in dealing with my father's estate. We received regular emails and updates. He chased things when they weren't forthcoming without any prompting (something I had to to myself with previous solicitors) and he showed real care for his clients. He was friendly and personable and just a real pleasure to have on board. I have absoluetly no hesitation in highly recommending him and will definitely be using him again in the future. Matt along with the conveyancing team at Tozers had the work done on the sale of my parent's property and the estate being completely wound up and finalised in just 7 months from the time of my father's death. Matt also managed to have Probate granted in just 4 days, which must be some kind of record! I can't say that would be the case for every estate I'm sure, but for us he was fantastic!

A Difficult Journey

This house move was by far the most difficult of our 14 moves. It took stressful to a whole new level. If it was not for Vernon I doubt we would have completed, in fact he was quoted as saying it was the most difficult conveyance of a nearly new house in his career. Vernon will ensure everything is correct, he will not skip over difficulties and will look after your interests. We were very pleased he acted for us on our purchase.

Jo Parrys attention to detail, together with her empathy and understanding releived the potential stresses of an unfortunate situation I found myself in. I had total faith in her and thanks to her professionalism, guidance and knowledge throughout I was able to cometo a most successful and happy result and conclusion. To have someone on your team (irrespective of circumstances and severity of case) that truly has the desire to help and the tools is a god send.
